Character

Balifico wine shares its name and its location with a villa in Volpaia. It has an intense, deep redness and an elegant and attractively complex fragrance of blackberry, redcurrant, sour cherry and a hint of vegetal notes. On the palate it is fresh, harmonious, intensely fruity, soft and round, with juicy tannins and a wonderful structure.

Region

Tuscany

Die Toscana ist neben dem Piemont das wohl berühmteste Weinbaugebiet Italiens. Dort bauten lange vor den Römern die Etrusker Reben an; somit zählt sie gleichzeitig zu den ältesten Anbaugebieten Europas. In der Toscana spricht man hauptsächlich – und mit berechtigtem Stolz – vom weltberühmten Chianti und von Brunello. In der Tat ist die Toskana jedoch die grösste Spitzenwein-Lieferantin Italiens. Von viel Sonne verwöhnt, von teils kräftigen Meeresbrisen gekühlt und dennoch mit genügend Regen versorgt, bringen toskanischen Reben auf kargen Kalk- sowie auf Lehm- und Sandsteinböden und verschiedenen Mischformen davon herausragende Qualitäten hervor, von denen Weinliebhaber in aller Welt schwärmen.


Producer/Brand

Castello di Volpaia

In the small village of Volpaia on the border between the provinces of Siena and Florence, wine was already cultivated in the 12th century. The village, considered one of the best preserved medieval villages, is distinguished by its wine culture. Since 1967, the Stianti Mascheroni family has been producing elegant, smooth wines with great commitment and profound expertise – today using modern-day organic methods. The vineyards belonging to the Castello di Volpaia are located at 450 to 600 metres above sea level, making Volpaia one of the highest-located vineyards in the Chianti region. So high that the vineyards lie above the fog and frost of spring and autumn.
